Formula-Fed Baby Poop

Formula-fed babies have pasty, peanut butter-like texture.

In terms of color, this poop form usually comes in a variety of colours with specks of brown – tan-brown, yellow-brown, or green-brown.

Smell-wise, it’s more pungent than poop excreted from breastfed babies and a little less pungent than poop excreted from babies who are eating solid food.

Formula-fed infants usually pass from 1 to 8 stools per day during the first week, and gradually slows down to a maximum of 4 stools per day.

This usually lasts for up to 2 months. After the second month, most babies tend to pass 1 or 2 stools per day, or 1 stool on alternate days.

However, if your baby experiences an increase than usual, in terms of number and looseness in stool passing, and if it lasts for more than 3 stools, suspect diarrhea.
